Panasonic Lumix DC-G9
Overall, we consider the G9 the best camera Panasonic has made so far, particularly for enthusiast photographers who are mainly interested in shooting stills but also like to take high-resolution movies occasionally.

Pros:
- Excellent usability
- reasonable compactness
- occasionally useful 80 megapixel mode
- adjustable display panel
Cons:
- Hmmmm

Panasonic Lumix G9 review
Despite the GH5 being the company's most stills-orientated flagship camera so far, it's still seen by many as primarily a videographer's tool that just happens to also have a wealth of photography features on tap.
Pros:
- 6.5-stop image stabilization
- Up to 60fps burst shooting
- Large viewfinder
- Great grip and handling
- Dual UHS-II card slots
Cons:
- ISO range could be broader
- Reduced screen size compared to GH5
- Battery level not shown as a percentage

Panasonic Lumix G9 Review
The Lumix G9 is a different kind of camera for Panasonic, one that strides out in a new direction. As the equally capable GH-series has grown increasingly video-centric with the GH5 - and now the even more video-specific GH5S - the G9 sets its gaze clearly on still photographers, a demographic that...
Pros:
- Great build quality
- Intelligent control layout
- 80MP high-resolution mode
- 5-axis in-body stabilization
- 6K photo and 4K video
Cons:
- Burst rate has odd limitations
- Smaller sensor than similarly sized/priced competitors

It seemed for a little while there, the two biggest players in the Micro Four Thirds world were splitting off into their own separate niches with Olympus going after the pro stills crowd by way of the EM-1 series and Panasonic, the pro video crowd with the GH series.
Pros:
- Just about any photographer craving a camera that can handle both high-speed still photography and 4K/HD-video duty
- Anyone seeking complete control of their camera
Cons:
- Serious sports and action shooters
- who would be better suited buying a camera with phase detect AF

One of the more interesting aspects about Panasonic's Lumix camera line-up is the way that each model - while often tilted towards different situations and contexts - inevitably informs the next.
Pros:
- Night mode
- Shoulder-mounted information display
- 6.5-stop stablization
- 0.04-second autofocus
- Weather-sealed design
Cons:
- Videographic capabilities not as robust as GH5

I just received the Panasonic G9 that I've preorderd some time ago. It's hack of a camera! The first impression was, WOW this stays so good in the hand that I don't what to let it go. Leaving th jokes aside, I think it has the best ergonomy I've ever laid my hand on, period!

Impressive
Quality product, ergonomically well designed, enormous number of features and very impressive lens - bought on line and properly packaged and competitively priced - not cheap but for serious photos worth it
